Network Reinforces Commitment to Presenting Live News from the U.S. and Around the Globe with Increased Hours of Coverage Weekdays

NEW YORK, NY, March 25, 2015 – Today, Al Jazeera America announced that the channel will present more hours of live news programming, from more locations with more resources, beginning this coming Monday, March 30th.

Each weekday starting at 6am ET until 12 noon ET, Al Jazeera America will present a live morning news block hosted by a rotating roster of the channel’s anchors and reporters. The updated morning news brings viewers an additional two hours of content from Al Jazeera America’s headquarters in New York City, and will be interwoven with live news broadcasts from Al Jazeera studios in Doha and London, the network’s 82 bureau locations and field reporters around the world. The new format continues the in-depth coverage and fact-based information that Al Jazeera America is known for, while offering even more continuous, real-time news coverage.

Additionally, Al Jazeera America will extend its midday news coverage an additional hour. This increased investment in daytime news will give viewers up-to-date and in-depth coverage of domestic and global events from Al Jazeera’s experienced team of journalists.
Al Jazeera America’s news segments will feature enterprise stories and investigative pieces spotlighting science, technology, health, culture, business, environmental issues and more. Additionally, the live weekday news blocks will preview stories set to air later in the day from Al Jazeera America’s award-winning primetime shows including America Tonight, Real Money with Al Velshi, Fault Lines, TechKnow and Talk to Al Jazeera.

As part of the programming update, Al Jazeera America will soon be rolling out updated programming in the evening which reflects the channel’s values of in-depth, fact-based journalism through hard-hitting examinations of today’s pressing, important and occasionally provocative issues.
